With the rejection of those meas- ures tho liberals may appeal to the country and receive such an emphatic endorsement that the Lords would not risk the second re- jection of a popular measure coming from the Commous.

From 1092 vo 1753 the so- Porliament was chiefly occupied flscating the estates of papists and secuting with a_ferocity worthy of the Bushmen all who difiered with them in relig- luns matters. Nor was the crusade di- ected entitely nst members of the Casholic faith ousands of Presbyterians were obliged t flee the country, generally sottling in the American colonics, whero subsequentlyitheir descendants avenged their wrongs in the war for independence. A ¢hange came over the spirit of the perse- cutors in I The revolt of the American colonies convinced them that there was danger incarrying class laws too fur. During tho succeeding two years all troops sta- vonea in Ireland were withdrawn to carry on the war aganst the colonies. The Irish Yolunteers sprang mto existence, They were mobilized in 1778 when rumors of a French invasion were rife. Composed of cenants and artisans and officered by capa- lo men, they soon became an effective forco for the righting of wrongs endured for fearly a century. From this armed and aggressive power sprang the Grattan Parlia- ment of 1782, “Freo Temde or—This. Henry Grattan was the son of a Dublin lawyer and was scarcely 35 when he bocame a leader in Trish politics. Fe was ono of a roup of Irishmen distinguished in the stir- ing events of that time. Chief among them were Heory Flood, John Philpot Curran, Theobnla Wolf Totie, Robet Iimmet and Cantain Napper Tan mortalized in “The Wearing of the Green Grattan was chosen leader of the move- ment originating in Parliament and having for its object tho removal of odious restric- tions imposed by t Britain upon Irish By ‘prearranged plan the volun- red upon the plaza ot College annon pointing at the statue n 111 of Iagland, and from their hung placards inscribed, ‘‘Free This."

A variety of reforms were demanded, and with an avmed force to back them they were readily wranted.

The Commons was com- posed of H00 members, of whom ove-third was clected by the people, the remainder being the nominces of seats controlled by land owners and placemen, Aftor the year 1703 tho ndifference of Parliament to the welfare of tho country becamo 80 scandulous that a ory for reform arose. One bill for the partial wemoval of dis- abilities from the Catholics was passed, but when Grattan introduced “another for full Catholic aucipation it was killed. Flood was eloquent in his advocacy reform of the franchise, but coula do nothing with the House. The volunteers wanted to make a great der tion under arms, but their leader, the arlewont, wenkened at tho last moment. The country at once lost confidence in the volunteers and before long they were disbanded, The As- sociation of United Irvishmen was then formed in Ulster with the object of uniting all creeds and classes for electoral reform, But the obstinacy of the Parlisment wearied the United Irishwen, their organization lapsed o a conspiracy for the - creation of an [rish republic and two of their leaders, A heobala Wolfe “Tone and Lord Edward Fitzgorald, a son of the duke of Lemster, negotiated with the French directory for military aid.

That majority was to be obtained, like any other useful commodity, by purchase,” In the January of 1800 the Irish Parliament met for the last time for nearly a century Its nssembling found the goverument co fident of victory, the epposition desperate and despairing. Most leaders of 'S2 and "08 wore dead or in prison, Men in pub- lic lifo who opposed the union were dismissed, Bribes were ovenly offered for votes and power peddied among those whose greed for gain was krown to the government. Al efforts to de- feat or delay the destruction of Parliament were of no avail. E the eloquence of Grattan, who was brought from his sick bed 1o plead against_Ireland's dishonor, did not affect “‘the bardened hearts or charm the deafoned ears of the purchased senate of Cornwallis and Castierragh.” The resolu- tions favoring the union. were carried by successive majorities, and on May 26 the biil based on the resolutions was passed. So ended the Grattan Parliament after an existence of eighteen ypars. What Home Rule Means. The home rule bill of 1863 provides for a legislature, not a parliament, for Ireland, and its powers and privilegos differ substan- tially from that of “Grattau’s Purliament.” The bill introduced by Premier Gladstone at 1 o'clock on the morning of February 18, 1808.0ordains that ‘‘there shall be established in Ireland a legislature consisting of her majesty, the queen, and two houses—a legis- lative council and a legislative assembly. Briefly, its power is restricted to the mak- Ing of laws for the peace, order and good government of Ireland. It is prohibited from making laws with respect to the crown or the succession to the crown; the making of peace or war; the naval or military forces or the defense of the realm ; treaties, treason or felony, alienage or naturalization, ww.de with any place out of Ireland; quarantine or navigation, except in respect to inland waters; local health or harbor rogulations beacons, lighthouses or sea works, except so far as may be consistent with any general act of Parliament; coinage, legal tender, weights and moasures. trade marks, copy- right or patent rights, Any law embodying theso subjects is declared void. Religlous Liborty, The making of any law respecting ‘‘the establishment or endowment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, of im- posing any disability or conferring any priv- ilege on unt of religous belief, or abro- wating or prejudicially affecting the right to establish or maintain any place of denom- inational” education or any denominational institute or charity,” is expressly prohib- fted. The section covering this important restriction is very complete and more effect- ive than the constitutions of many states in the union. The executive power of Iréland is vested in the qu and may be exercised by the lord lieutenant, who may summon. prorogue or dissolve Parliament. He is to pe assisted by an executive committeo of the privy council of Ireland, appointed by the queen. The veto power is to be exercised on the ad- vice of the executive committee. This com- mittee is to be a body similar to the British cabinet, selected from members of the ma- Jority party in the assembly. Membership and Qualitications. The council or upper house of the Irish ament consists of forty eight members “The full term is eight years, one-half retir- ing every four years. Its existenco is not affected by the disolution of the lowes house. A property qualificatios is imposed on elec- tors of councilors, thus restricting tho suf- frage. A voter wmust be the owner or oc pier of 1and of the ratable value of £20. S frage for assembly men 18 on the present basis. The latter body is composed of 103 members. A important feature of the lay is the remedy for preventing a deadlock bo- tween the two houses. It is provided in event of disagreement, when any measuro 13 passed by the popular body and Tejected by the upper house, it may beé again adopted by the popular body at the expiration of two years, and if nezatived a second time, then the measure shall by submitted 1o a vote of the members of both houses sitting in joint session. A vote of a majority of tho mem- bers present and voting shall decide. An existing suffrage evil is remedied by the bill. Under the property qualifiation now in vogue a man may vote in_every elec- toral division in which he holds property. An active political landlord was' enabled during general eloctions to vote i a- large number of constituencies. The plan of home rule is one man one vote. Taxation and Appropriations. All measures appropriating money must originate in the lower house, and must be pproved by the lord lieutenant and execu- ommittee, L. c., the Irish cabinet. Tho on of the finances of Ireland is complex and not very satisfactory. All taxes,except- ing customs duties and excise and postage, are to be imposed and collected by the Iris| Parliament, the, exceptod taxes to be col- lected by and paid into the troasury of the United Kingdom. An allowanoe 1s to be made by the British treasury out of the. in- come tax receipts for the Irish treasury. “There is also created a consolidated fund into which Treland’s contributions to the imperial treasury, consisting of customs duties, ox- cise and church property fund, shall be paid, out of which the expenses of courts and judges and the constabulary are to be paid. Control of the courts and constabulary ro- mains 1 the Imperial Parlisment for six years aften the passage of vhe act, after which they aro accountablo to the Irish legislature. Appeal from the Irish courts to the Houso of Lords is changed to make the appeal di- rect to the queen iu council, Legislation regarding land is prohibited until three years after the passage of the act.

Origiu of Home Rule. It is nearly eight years since Gladstone publicly expressed his conversion to the principles of home rule. “The resources of civilization as he tersely named obstru tion, “combined with an almost solid Irish party under the leadership of Charles Stew- art Parnell. were mighty factors in convert- ing former advocates of coercion and prison fare into staunch friends. In former strug- gles England's dificulty was Ireland’s oppor- tunity. In the later contest political unity wade opportunities and forced opponents to sacrifice opinions and party policies on the altar of political expediency. With the collapse of the i"enian movement in 1867 years of distress, of rack rent- ing and eviction. In 1570 the Protestant consorvatives held a meeting in Dublin to consider the political condition of Ireland. The existiug state of affairs was discourag: ing, and it was manifest that some degiee of solf-government was ecessary to perma- nently eradicate intermittent rebellion, It was dotermined to inaugurate a movement on constitutional lines and strive to attain some measure of national independence. A declaration to the effoct “‘that the establish- ment of an Irish Parliament with full con- trol over our domestic affairs was the only remedy for the evils of Ireland” was made, and Mr. Isaae Bust became the champion of the movement. Mr. Butt was then a man of 55, & lawyor and polltician, cool, skillful and brillaot, he movement spread rapialy in Ireland, but received no encouragement at 5t. Stephens. At the general election in 1574 the pacty returued sixty home rule mewbers to Parliament. v then became up- parent that tho home rulo party was des- tined to play a conspicuous part in British legislation. Parnell on the Scene, After tho election of 1874 u vacancy oc- curred aud a youag Irish landlord, of whou little was known, vame forward o contost the seat as a home rulo candidate. The then unknown was Charles Stewart Paruell. Campaigning was entively new to Mr. Par- nell, and it is nov to be wondered at that dur- ing 'bis first public address he broke down und made s poor un impression that defeat followed. 'The following year he stood again and was elected. Justin McCavthy tells that Mr. Parpell's presence animated the bome rulors with a tresh and unexpected ac- tivity. Uuder the leadorship of Mr. Buts Irishi wembers confined their labors Lo legis lation affecting Irish affaivs. Acting ou tho belief shat inaction in aflairs re'ating 1 other parts of the empire would scoure the favor of British mem- bers, the howe rulers accomplished sthing aud almost dropped 1nto oblivion Parnell did not believe iu “masterly in- vity,” and by degrees impressed the M | members thay success could be hud only by vigorous legislative fightiug. He urged wction on all weasures pending, uo matter what section of the ewpire was affected. Meauwhile, he had wastored pariiumentary vules as woil us the rules of the Comuions. Tn 1877 he inaugurated the policy of obstruc- tion, which not only forced ition of the home rulers, but vitally changed the current of legislation, and made the policy famous in legislative annals. “The young Irish squire of English education and American descent,” as the Pall Mall pictored him, be- came a 'conspicuous and dreaded figure in Parliament, = Mr. Butt did not approve of the obstructive tactics and_retired from the home rule leadership during that stormy period The Land League Movement. The land league movement started by Michael Davitt in 1870 gave Irish organiza- tions, and necessarily the homo_rule move- ment, a tremendous impetus. The follow- ing year saw_Parnell at the head of the home rulers, Lord Beaconsfield was then in power., In March, 1880, he issued a political manifesto directed against the home rulo movement, which he characterized as “scarcely less disastrous than pestilence or famine.”” The home rulers issued a counter manifesto, calling upon. Irish voters to help fling the tories from power. The result of the election was a joint triumph_for the home rulers and the liberal party. Thesym- pathies of the former leaned towara the liberals, but as the Irish vote was not necessary to keep the liberals in power, no good came of the quasi-alliance. On the contrary the policy of the tory prede- cessors was continued to harsher extremes. Evictions doubled in three years and the country was In a state bordering on anarchy. This condition, through Land league agita- tion and effective resistance, was partly mitigated by a land law. A coercion measure followed in 1881, supplemented with furious assaults on the home rulers by Gladstone and Bright. Onjthis measure, the now famous obstructive tactics were carried on by the dauntless followers of Parneil and the house kept in continuous session for two days and nights. In the midst of the tumult the announcement was made that Michael Davitt was arrested and imprisoned, which was greeted with wid applause by the Gladstonians. Before a vote was finally had overy member of the home rulo party was suspended on (Gladstone's motion and escorted out of the chamber by the sargeant- at-arms, 3 Housed 1n Kilmainnam, In October, 1881, Gladstone delivered an address at Leeds ‘o Irish affirs, in which he sivgled out Mr. Parnell fgr a violent per- soual attack. It was designed and timed to provoke a personal rejoinder, and it did not fail in its objoct. Mr. Parnell responded o week later with a vehement assault on the prime minister. Gladstono was trritated be- cause the land act was not coraially received inIreland. It did not meet the approval of the Land league and so far from being a remedial measure it proved a dismal failure. But additional provocation was deemed nec- cssary for the coup d’etat contemplated by the government. The duel of words fur- nished the excuse for the wholesalo arrests of home rulers on the 13th of October, 1881. Mir. Parnell and eight prominent fol- lowers wero arrested in rapid suc- cession and jaited. In the most rigorous of tory governments, 1nciuiing Bal- four's reign of terror, such @ sweeping im- prisonment of political opponents was not equaled. The two islands wero astounded, while the government, with the exception of the advauced radicals, gleefully chuckled over the successful execution of the plun. “The imprisonment of tho leadars was fol- lowed by arrests of oficers of the Land league and the suppression of nationalist newspapers. The evident purpose of the government was to suppress all organi opposition in Ireland. Temporary su was achieved, but instead of open agitation secrot_orgunizations sprang up. The out- rageous alien laws provoked agrarian crime, which became so widespread during 1882 as toappall the government and demonstrate that a people made desperato by oppression were capable of effective resistance. A Truce. Six months’ imprisonment of the heme rule leaders apparently satistied the government. No practical good resulted from their de- tention. Accordingly in April, 1882, Mr. Parnell was releaseq, followed shortly by the release or the remainder. Various' cir- cumstances surrounding this action gave rise to whap is known as the Kilmainham treaty. There was no ground for the report that an agreement had been made between Gladstone and Parnell. It was soon- mani- fest, however, that the government had changed front; that it was convinced that a policy of coercion was a barren ideality as a means for the pacification of Ireland. Beitg convinced, it was natural that the release of the imprisoned members should follow. ‘This was the turning point in Gladstone’s Irish policy. It marks the beginning of his conversion to the principles of legislative in- dependence which he has since champloned with all his strength. True, the olive branch was not immediately extended to Ire- land. Agitation ceased so far as tho Jeaders were concerned. They sought to calm the people and discountenanced crime and reck- lessness. But considerable time elapsed be fore irrogular warfare and outrage wore re- pressed. At no timo during the ensuing two years did they show any great regard for liberal promises of fair play. Begl of the End. The government collapsod in June, 1885, and was succeeded by the Salisbury cabinet, which in turn fell the following January, Gladstone again took up the reins. It was generally understood that his views on the Irish question had been greatly extended. This fact was shown in the seloction of a friendly viceroy for Ircland, and given a practical and historical demonstration by the introduction of the first home rule bill on Aprii 8, 1886. The fate of the measure as well as the subsequent six years of tory rule and ropression, are recent and familinr his- tory. Primarily, the houor for having blazed the pathway to Irish logislative inde- pendence 15 justiy due the late Charles Stowart Parnell. His Indomitable will, his marvelous skill as a tactician and ready de- bater, supported by as loyal and brainy band of men as ever rallied 'round frecdom's standard, brought British parties face to face with *‘a condition, not a theory.” The home rulers held the balance of power, and herein, apart from the justice of their cause, lay tho secret of their success. But tho crowniog honor was reserved for William Ewart Gladstone. The spectucle of this great man—tho master mind of our time, venerable in years and blessed with mental and physical vigor to an amazing degree, battling night after night with wily and malicious oppouents, holding in firm grasp a scant party majority, suppressing by over- powering ~ will factions 1n tho lib- eral ranks—is one calculated to inspire the affection and admiration of all friends of human progress, The strugglo has been a remurkable one and a sovere strain on men not half the age of the pre- mier. The marvel of it is that after an ex- hausting struggle. testing the endurance of strong men, hoe closed the battio with the force, eloquence and vivacity which mavked his earlier triumphs, He has amazed fricnds and confounded his foos by s skill, adroit- ness and logic, and overwhelmed ovposition by his thorough knowledge of parlinmentary arts. No convert ever showed greater zeal in & just cause, and it is eminently fitting that the capsheaf of his wonderful career should be o peace offering to an oppressed people and 4 jewel on the crown of lllmni: There are three things worth saving— time, trouble and money—and De Witt's Little Early Risers will suve them for you.

Two well known stock men and a farmer ‘were talking futures on corn and cattle yes- terday morning and their remarks became so interesting that quite a group of stookmen gathered about them in the Kxchange build- ing to listen. I see that May corr is quoted now at 40 cents,” said Colonel Sav- age “and 'llbet a 4-year-old steer that by May, corn will be selling for nearer 60 cents thanit will 40. I have just made a trip through the corn belt of this central wost country, extending from Illinois to westorn Kansas and western Nebraska. All along tho railronds through the country where I have traveled the corn crop is going to be short. In places the corn will not run ten bushels to the acre, and where the pros- pects are the brightest the yield will not run over thirty-five to forty bushels. 1 know what [ am talking about when I say that the corn crop in lIllinois, lowa and Kansas is a failure this r. Now then, on top of this d that there is very listlo bs right now, 8o what on carth is there to prevent a big rise in corn and cattle inside of the next twelve monshs? 1 tell you, gentiemen, it is bound to come if supply and demand cut any figure with the markots, and every one except n packer claims that supply and demand control prices, “Now is the time for the farmer to feed, providing he ha s to have the corn to do it. His neighbor hasn’t got any and his neighbor isn’t going to buy corn to fatten his stock. He will rough them through the winter first, and 1 say the man who is lucky enough to have corn and feeds his cattle vhis fall is the man who will come out winner. Fat cattle, in my prediction, will bring a fancy price this winter, and I'am also confi- dent that before many ‘months roll around the price of corn will go up severalnotches.” The farmer agreed with the colonel and that inasmuch as the crop of hay was con- siderably short there would be an advance in this market also. Another Gasoline Blaze. Another domestic had a sensational expe- rience yesterday afternoon by trying to fill a gasoline stove while it was burning. The girl was frightened so badly that the sight of a gasoline stove makes her hair stand. She also succeeded in scaring the other members of the household out of a night's rest, to say the least. The excitement took place at the residence of Mr. S. W. Fraucis, 026 Twenty-second street, about 8 o'clock iu the afternoon. The hired girl was working about the stove out in tho kitchen when she discovered it needled some more oll, and" she proceeded to fill it. Mrs, Francis wis'in an adjoining room and heard & “‘healthy ‘whoop from the female out in the kitchen, Mrs. Francis closed the door leading out of the kitchen and into the other part of the house just in time to save & serious fire. As it was, the walls and ceifibgand the summer door were all that burned. * The flames were working rapidly to get a hold but a neighbor who did not lose his head picked up a garden hose and put out‘thie fire before the firemen arrived. In ten‘¥ninutes the entire neighborhood of women and children were on the scene and the commotioh was great.

During such a period of financial disturb- ance as the present, you find it necessary to concentrate all your talents and energies on the management of your affairs. You cannot safely delegate the work to another. At this time, any one else, no matter what his ability, would be unable to successfully conduct ycur business, or protect your invest- ments, as well as you can. But there is a chance that you may at any moment be forced thus to turn your affairs over to the management of another--namely, in the event of your death. Remember thatexecutors often think more about avoiding risks and protecting themselves than of carrying out the spirit of the testator’s views. They generally lack experience in the business they are trying to wind up. This inexperience and possible lack of interest may cost 10 or 18 per cent of the value of your estate, or more. You cannot but recognize the truth ot this statement; nevertheless, you can secure this loss by assuring your life for the amount which. in your judgment, -your executors would waste in winding up your estate. You can easily, by economizing a little in your living expenses, pay from your income the premium on a policy for $80,000 or $100,- 000, issued by the strongest financial institu- tion of its kind in the world--The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, 120 Broadway, New York, If you then echance to die,your executor will be iustantly in the possession of $80,000 or $100,- 00O of cask in haud, and ready money will have a JSourfold value if death comes in times like these. On the other hand, if you live, and take your assurance (for example) on the 20-year Ton- tine Endowment plan, you will yourself reap a rich reward on the maturity of the policy. The following is an illustration of one out of many such policies maturing in 1898: BXAMPLE.
